VARK Analysis Paper

Assessment Description

Learning styles represent the different approaches to learning based on preferences, weaknesses, and strengths. For learners to best achieve the desired educational outcome, learning styles must be considered when creating a plan. Complete “The VARK Questionnaire,” located on the VARK website, and then complete the following:

1Click “OK” to receive your questionnaire scores.

2Once you have determined your preferred learning style, review the corresponding link to view your learning preference.

3Review the other learning styles: visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic, and multimodal (listed on the VARK Questionnaire Results page).

4Compare your current preferred learning strategies to the identified strategies for your preferred learning style.

5Examine how awareness of learning styles has influenced your perceptions of teaching and learning.

In a paper (750-1,000 words), summarize your analysis of this exercise and discuss the overall value of learning styles. Include the following:

1Provide a summary of your learning style according the VARK questionnaire.

2Describe your preferred learning strategies. Compare your current preferred learning strategies to the identified strategies for your preferred learning style.

3Describe how individual learning styles affect the degree to which a learner can understand or perform educational activities. Discuss the importance of an educator identifying individual learning styles and preferences when working with learners.

4Discuss why understanding the learning styles of individuals participating in health promotion is important to achieving the desired outcome. How do learning styles ultimately affect the possibility for a behavioral change? How would different learning styles be accommodated in health promotion?
